The Hebrew word "Kasheir," or "Kosher," means fit or proper. When applied to food, the term indicates that an item is fit for consumption according to Jewish law.
Parve is a Hebrew term (pareve is the Yiddish term) that describes food without any meat or dairy ingredients.
Millions of people, from various religious and ethnic backgrounds, eat kosher food for religious, cultural, health and quality reasons. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Vegetarians, Lactose-Intolerant and others may share an interest in kosher food, but their definitions of kosher food may vary. Jewish dietary laws considers pareve food to be neutral; Pareve food can be eaten with both meat and milk dishes. The kosher or non-kosher state of a product depends on the source of the ingredients and the status of the equipment on which it was processed.
Fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables are parve.
